A group of first responders helped grant a dying firefighter's last wish as they escorted him from a hospital to his home.

News outlets report that members of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department led a procession on Wednesday for 45-year-old Frank Martinez, showing him the new Squad 4 tactical fire truck on their way from the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan to his home in Forsyth County.

Fire officials say Martinez is battling stage 4 cancer and isn't expected to live much longer. His last wish was to see the new Squad 4 apparatus, which was put into service a few weeks ago.
